Speaking of bills, we have had two crazy expensive incidents with water this summer- 1. We returned from a weekend away to find that our toilet had been running the entire time, and 2. We had an earthquake that shook a fitting loose in our irrigation system while we were again away from home for several days. We returned to find a small stream running through the yard 😢.

We were grateful for a week of rainy weather that gave us a bit of time to fix that (Morgan had to psyche himself up to dig that hole), but I dread the upcoming water bill. The first one was bad enough!!!

Anyway, that’s just homeowner blues. Paying that down as I can and trudging onward.

UPDATE: It continues! Our toilet tank is now emptying itself and filling itself constantly which we know is just a simple repair, but still. We have had to resort to turning off the valve every time until we can get to it. AND, the hot tub started leaking significantly. This is most likely from the original leak it came with and an insufficient repair, at least that is what we hope. Again, not super mysterious or unusual except that all of this is water water water water…

Since water represents the flow of emotions, plumbing issues in a home or a leaky radiator in a car reflect emotional matters. Specifically, the bathroom in a house shows a need for cleansing, release and forgiveness.

I am not necessarily a superstitious person, but sometimes (like when the same thing keeps happening over and over and over and OVER) it’s useful to look for whatever else needs attention and throw some work at that too. Noted, universe, noted.
